THE SPALDING TRADE-MARK IS THE 
FOUNDATION OF THE SPALDING BUSINESS 



Spalding's 
Athletic Library 

Anticipating the present ten- 
dency of the American people 
toward a healthful method of living' 
and enjoyment, Spalding's Athletic 
Library was established in 1892 for 
the purpose of encouraging ath- 
letics in every form, not only by 
publishing the official rules and 
records pertaining to the various 
pastimes, but also by instructing, 
until to-day Spalding's Athletic 
Library is unique in its own par- 
ticular field and has been conceded 
the greatest educational series on 
athletic and physical training sub- 
jects that has ever been compiled. 
The publication of a distinct 
series of books devoted to athletic 
sports and pastimes and designed 
to occupy the premier place in 
America in its class was an early 
idea of Mr. A. G. Spalding, who 
was one of the first in America 
to publish a handbook devoted to 
athletic sports, Spalding's Official 
Base Ball Guide being the initial 
number, which was followed at intervals with other handbooks on the 
sports prominent in the '70s. 

Spalding's Athletic Library has had the advice and counsel of Mr, A. G. 
Spalding in all of its undertakings, and particularly in all books devoted 
to the national game. This applies especially to Spalding's Official 
Base Ball Guide and Spalding's Official Base Ball Record, both of which 
receive the personal attention of Mr. A. G. Spalding, owing to his early 
connection with the game as the leading pitcher of the champion Boston 
and Chicago teams of 1872-76. His interest does not stop, however, with 
matters pertaining to base ball; there is not a sport that Mr. Spalding 
does not make it his business to become familiar with, and that the 
Library will always maintain its premier place, with Mr. Spalding's able 
counsel at hand, goes without saying. 

The entire series since the issue of the first number has been under 
the direct personal supervision of Mr. James E. Sullivan, President 
of the American Sports Publishing Company, and the total series of 
consecutive numbers reach an aggregate of considerably over three 
hundred, included in which are many "annuals," that really constitute 
the history of their particular sport in America year by year, back copies 
of which are even now eagerly sought for, constituting as they do the 
really first authentic records of events and official rules that have ever 
been consecutively compiled. 

When Spalding's Athletic Library was founded, seventeen years ago. 
track and field athletics were practically unknown outside the larger 
colleges and a few athletic clubs in the leading cities, which gave occa- 
sional meets, when an entry list of 250 competitors was a subject of com- 
ment; golf was known only by a comparatively few persons; lawn tennis 
had some vogue and base ball was practically the only established field

EDITORS OF SPALDING' S ATHLETIC LIBRARY 

sport, and that in a professional way; basket ball had just been invented; 
athletics for the schoolboy— and schoolgirl— were almost unknown, and 
an advocate of class contests in athletics in the schools could not get a 
hearing. To-day we find the greatest body of athletes in the world ia 
the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, which has had 
an entry list at its annual games of over two thousand, and in whose 
"elementary series" in base ball last year 106 schools competed for the 
trophy emblematic of the championship. 

While Spalding's Athletic Library cannot claim that the rapid growth 
of athletics in this country is due to it solely, the fact cannot be denied 
that the books have had a great deal to do with its encouragement, by 
printing the official rules and instructions for playing the various games 
at a nominal price, within the reach of everyone, with the sole object 
that its series might be complete and the one place where a person 
could look with absolute certainty for the particular book in which he 
might be interested. 

In selecting the editors and writers for the various books, the lead- 
ing authority in his particular line has been obtained, with the result 
that no collection of books on athletic subjects can compare with 
Spalding's Athletic Library for the prominence of the various authors 
and their ability to present their subjects in a thorough and practical 
manner. 

A short sketch of a few of those who have edited some of the lead- 
ing numbers of Spalding's Athletic Library is given herewith : 



JAMES E. SULLIVAN 

President American Sports Publishing Com- 
pany; entered the publishing house of Frank 
Leslie in 1878, and has been connected continu- 
ously with the publishing business since then 
and also as athletic editor of various New

WALTER CAMP 

For quarter of a century Mr. Walter Camp 
of Yale has occupied a leading position in col- 
leg^e athletics. It is immaterial what organiza- 
tion is suggested for college athletics, or for 
the betterment of conditions, insofar as college 
athletics is concerned, Mr. Camp has always 
played an important part in its conferences, 
and the great interest in and high plane of 
college sport to-day, are undoubtedly due more 
to Mr. Camp than to any other individual. Mr. 
Camp has probably written more on college 
athletics than any other writer and the leading papers and maga- 
zines of America are always anxious to secure his expert opinion on foot 
ball, track and field athletics, base ball and rowing. Mr. Camp has grown 
up with Yale athletics and is a part of Yale's remarkable athletic system. 
While he has been designated as the "Father of Foot Ball," it is a well 
known fact that during his college career Mr. Camp was regarded as one 
of the best players that ever represented Yale on the base ball field, so 
when we hear of Walter Camp as a foot ball expert we must also remem- 
ber his remarkable knowledge of the game of base ball, of which he is a 
great admirer. Mr. Camp has edited Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide 
since it was first published, and also the Spalding Athletic Library book 
on How to Play Foot Ball. There is certainly no man in American college 
life better qualified to write for Spalding's Athletic Library than Mr. 
Camp. 



DR. LUTHER HALSEY GULICK 

The leading exponent of physical training 
in America; one who has worked hard to im- 
press the value of physical training in the 
schools; when physical training was combined 
with education at the St. Louis Exposition in 
1904 Dr. Gulick played an important part in 
that congress; he received several awards for 
his good work and had many honors conferred 
upon him; he is the author of a great many 
books on the subject; it was Dr. Gulick, who, 
acting on the suggestion of James E. Sullivan, 
■organized the Public Schools Athletic League of Greater New York, and 
was its first Secretary; Dr. Gulick was also for several years Director of 
Physical Training in the public schools of Greater New York, resigning 
the position to assume the Presidency of the Playground Association of 
America. Dr. Gulick is an authority on all subjects pertaining to phys- 
ical training and the study of the child.

Successor to the late Henry Chadwick 
("Father of Base Ball") as editor of Spald- 
ing's Official Base Ball Guide; sporting editor 
of the New York Evening Telegram; has

History of the Association 



The first Inter-Collegiate contest in gymnastics was held 
March 22, 1899, at the New York University gymnasium, and 
was an unqualified success. While there was no association at 
that time, this meet has been regarded as the first meet of the 
Inter-Collegiate Association of Amateur Gymnasts of America, 
which was formed in the following year. The following colleges 
were present at the meeting in 1899: Amherst, Brown, Columbia, 
Cornell, Harvard, Haverford, Lafayette, Lehigh, New York 
University, Princeton, Rutgers, S^frarthmore, Trinity, Union, 
University of Virginia, Wesleyan, Yale, and University of Penn- 
sylvania. From these participants the following entered the 
Association which was formed in the following year : Columbia, 
Harvard, Haverford, New York University, University of Penn- 
sylvania, Princeton, Rutgers, and Yale. During the year 1910 
Amherst and College of the City of New York were admitted 
to the Association.

The Season of 1909-1910 



The season of 1909-10 was a most successful one in every- 
way, the colleges carrying larger schedules and taking part in 
more dual meets than ever before. Undoubtedly the strongest 
team is that of the Navy, which won meets from Yale, Penn- 
sylvania, New York University, Rutgers, Columbia and Prince- 
ton. The Navy, unfortunately, is not a member of the Inter- 
collegiate Association so did not send a team to the final meet. 
Yale won meets from New York University and Princeton and 
then by scoring in every event, except the club swinging, took 
first place at the IntercoUegiates for the fifth time in eleven 
years. Princeton, on her early season showing, was not counted 
on as a strong factor at the IntercoUegiates, but furnished a 
surprise by finishing a close second to Yale. Rutgers caused 
another surprise by taking third place with a first and second 
in club swinging. Pennsylvania won four out of six dual meets 
and came to the final meet a strong favorite for first or second 
place, but their team did not come up to expectations. Kelley, 
by winning the tumbling again this year, took fourth place for 
his team. He also won the All-round Championship in a close 
race with Melitzer of Columbia and T. Clark of Princeton, who 
finished in that order. Haverford and C. C. N. Y. did not send 
teams, while Amherst was represented for the first time since 
the Association was formed.

said student was a member at the time of election. In case of a 
vacancy in the office of President, the college that the last incum-

professional for a prize; or with a professional where gate money 
is charged ; nor has ever at any time taught, pursued, or assisted 
at athletic exercises for money or for any valuable consideration. 
But nothing in this definition shall be construed to prohibit the 
competition between amateurs for medals, cups, or other prizes 
than money, and it is hereby expressly declared that this defini- 
tion is nor retroactive, and that all past acts of amateurs shall be 
judged in accordance with the provisions of the old definition ;

and adjudications: 

An athlete has forfeited his right to compete as an amateur, 
and has thereby become a professional, by — 

(a) Ever having competed in an open competition, i.e., a 
competition, the entries to which are open to all, irrespective as

whether such competition be for a prize or not, in any athletic 
exercise, viz., base ball, rowing, cricket, etc. 

(b) Ever having competed for money in any athletic exercise. 

(c) Ever having competed under a false name in any athletic 
exercise. 

(d) Ever having knowingly competed with a professional for 
a prize, or where gate money is charged, in any athletic exercise. 

(c) Ever having taught or pursued as a means of livelihood 
any athletic exercise. 

(/) Ever having directly or indirectly accepted or received 
remuneration for engaging in any athletic exercise. 

An athlete shall hereafter forfeit his right to compete as an 
amateur, and shall thereby become a professional, if, at any time 
after the foregoing definition shall take effect, he shall — 

(i) Directly or indirectly receive payment for training or 
coaching any other person 'n any athletic exercise. 

(2) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered in teaching any athletic exercise. 

(3) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- 
dered as referee, judge, umpire, scorer, manager, director, or in 
any other capacity at any professional exhibition or contest of 
any athletic exercise whatsoever. 

Note. — Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the accept- 
ance by any amateur of his necessary traveling expenses incurred 
as referee, judge, umpire, scorer, or starter, in going to and from 
the place of any amateur contest. 

(4) Directly or indirectly run, manage, or direct, for prospec- 
tive profit, any professional exhibition or contest. 

An amateur shall not forfeit his right to compete as an amateur, 
and shall not become a professional by — 

(a) Receiving compensation for services rendered as ticket- 
taker or ticket-seller at any contest or exhibition of amateur 
athletics. 

(b) Receiving compensation for services personally rendered

Spalding Adjustable Doorway 
Horizontal Bar 



No. A. The bar itself is made of selected hickory, 
having steel tubular ends into which iron sockets 
screw, holding rubber cushions. The socket on one 
end contains a left hand thread, on the other end a 
right hand thread. By fitting the bar in the door- 
way and turning it with the hands the ends are made 
to expand and the friction applied by the rubber

Home Apparatus 

Exercise is a debt that 
every man owes to his 
constitution and he cannot 
pay it up too promptly. 
Heredity gave you as a 
gift a certain quota of 
health. Posterity demands 
that you increase that 
quota to as great an ex- 
tent as possible. " Even 
if you do not value health 
for yourself, you should 
have enough consideration 
for those who are to come 
after you to leave them no 
greater handicap in the 
race of life than you start- 
ed with yourself. To do 
this it is not necessary that 
you become an athlete or 
neglect your business 
aftairs. Good health sim- 
ply necessitates that you 
take a moderate amount of 
exercise in a rational way.

Spalding Exercising Equipment lor Recreation Rooms 

Exercibing apparatus, suitable for home use, and not altogether by the boys and girls of the Household, but 
also by the grown-ups; as a matter of fact, the ones who usually require exercise of a rational kind much 
more than the younger generation, who have the time and inclination for outdoor exercise not possessed by 

many of their elders— that is what we will attempt to show in this section of our catalogue. 
Using Spalding Home Exercising Apparatus, Chest Weights, etc., properly, and in connection with the 
instructions given in our various Athletic Libraries there is no reason why any man cannot practically renew 

his youthful vigor by regular exercise. 

Many banking, mercantile and manufacturing establishments maintain athletic clubs of their employees an(f 

have installed Spalding Outfits of Gymnasium Apparatus in their club and recreation rooms for their use. 

The suggested combinations shown on these pages, illustrate only a few of the sets of exercising apparatus 

which may be made up from the goods listed in this catalogue.

THE great interest in ath- 
letics that has developed 
in the public schools 
within recent years has led to 
the compilation of this book 

with a view to the systemiza- ^ ^ I 

tion of the various events that form the distinctively 
athletic feature of school recreation. With its aid any 
teacher should be able to conduct a successful meet, while 
the directions given for becoming expert in the various 
lines will appeal to the pupil. Some of the leading 
athletes have contributed chapters on their specialties: 
Ray Ewry, holder of the world's high jump record, tells 
how to practice for that event; Harry Hillman, holder of 
the hurdle and three-legged records, gives hints on hurdle 
racing and three-legged racing; Martin Sheridan, all- 
around champion of America, gives directions for putting 
the shot; Harry F. Porter, high jump expert, describes 
how to become proficient in that event. The book is 
illustrated with photos taken especially for it in public 
schoolyards. PRICE 10 CENTS

Diirand-Steel] 
Lockers^ 




Wooden lockers are objectionable* 

because they attract vermin, absorb odors, 
can be easily broken into, and are dangerous 
on account of fire. 

Lockers made from wire mesh 6t 
expanded metal afford little secnr* 
Ity, as they can be easily entered with wire cut* 
ters. Clothes placed in them become covere(4 
with dust, and the lockers themselves present 
a poor appearance, resembling animal cages 
Dnrand-Steel Lockers are made of finest 
grade furniture steel and are finished with 
gloss black, furnace-baked japan (400°), comparable 
„o that used on hospital ware, which will never flake 
off nor require refinishing, as do paints and enamels. 




Some 
Publio 




of th^ d.OOO Durand-Steel tockers Installed It ^ 
Cymnaslums of Chicago. I2*a I5'x 42>, DouD*'' Tioi 

Durand- Steel Lockers are usually built v/itl 
doors perforated full length in panel design with side 
and backs solid. This prevents clothes in one locke 
from coming in contact with wet garment 
in adjoining lockers, while plenty of venti 
lation is secured by having the door perfo 
rated its entire length, but, if the purchase: 
prefers, we perforate the backs also. , 

The cost of Dnrand-Steel Locker; 
is no more than that of flrst-clasi 
wooden lockers, and they last as lon(, 
as the building, are sanitary, secure, and 
in addition, are fire-proof.

Standard Policy 

A Standard Quality must be inseparably linked to a Standard Policy. 

Without a definite and Standard Mercantile Policy, it is impossible for a manufacturer to long 
maintain a Standard Quality. 

To market his goods through the jobber, a manufacturer must provide a profit for the jobber as 
well as the retail dealer. To meet these conditions of Dual Profits, the manufacturer is obliged to 
set a proportionately high list price on his goods to the consumer. 

To enable the glib salesman, when booking his orders, to figure out attractive profits to both the 
jobber and retailer, these high list prices are absolutely essential; but their real purpose will have been 
served when the manufacturer has secured his order from the jobber, and the jobber has secured his 
order from the retailer. 

However, these deceptive high list prices are not fair to the consumer, who does not, and, in 
reality, is not ever expected to pay these fancy list prices. 

When the season opens for the sale of such goods, with their misleading but alluring high list 
prices, the retailer begins to realize his responsibilities, and grapples with the situation as best he 
can, by offering "special discounts," which vary with local trade conditions. 

Under this system of merchandising, the profits to both the manufacturer and the jobber are 
assured; but as there is no stability maintained in the prices to the consumer, the keen competition 
amongst the local dealers invariably leads to a demoralized cutting of prices by which the profits of 
the retailer are practically eliminated. 

This demoralization always reacts on the manufacturer. >The jobber insists on lower, and still 
lower, prices. The manufacturer in his turn, meets this demand for the lowering of prices by the 
only way open to him, viz. : the cheapening and degrading of the quahty of his product. 

The foregoing conditions became so intolerable that, ten years ago, in 1899, A. G. Spalding 
'&. Bros, determined to rectify this demoralization in the Athletic Goods Trade, and inaugurated what 
has since become kncwn as "The Spalding Policy." 

The "Spalding Policy" eliminates the jobber entirely, so far as Spalding Goods are concerned,'' 
and the retail dealer secures his supply of Spalding Athletic Goods direct from the manufacturer 
under a restricted retail price arrangement by which the retail dealer is assured a fair, legitimate and 
certain profit on all Spalding Athletic Goods, and the consumer is assured a Standard Quality and is 
protected from imposition. 

The "Spalding Policy" is decidedly for the interest and protection of the users of Athletic Goods, 
and acts in two ways: 

First— The user is assiu-ed of genuine Ofiicial Standard Athletic Goods, and 

the same fixed prices to everybody. 
Second— As manufacturers, we can proceed with confidence in purchasing at 
the proper time, the very best raw materials required in the manufacture 
of our various goods, well ahead of their respective seasons, and this enables 
us to provide the necessary quantity and absolutely maintain the Spalding 
Standard of Quality. 

All retail dealers handling Spalding Athletic Goods are required to supply consumers at our 
regular printed catalogue prices — neither more nor less— the same prices that similar goods are sold 
for in our New York, Chicago and other stores. 

All Spalding dealers, as well as users of Spalding Athletic Goods, are treated exactly alike, and no 
special rebates or discriminations are allowed to anyone. 

Positively, nobody; not even officers, managers, salesmen or other employes of A. G. Spalding 
& Bros., or any of their relatives or personal friends, can buy Spalding Athletic Goods at a discount 
from the regular catalogue prices. 

This, briefly, is the "Spalding Policy," which has already been in successful operation for the 
past ten years, and will be indefinitely continued. 

In oliier words, " The Spalding Policy" is a "square deal " for everybody.

standard Quality 

An article that is universally given the appellation' ** Standard " is thereby 
conceded to be the Criterion, to which are compared all other things of a similar nature. 
For instance, the Gold Dollar of the United States is the Standard unit of currency, 
because it must legally contain a specific proportion of pure gold, and the fact of its 
being Genuine is guaranteed by the Government ^tamp thereon. As a protection to 
the users of this currency against counterfeiting and other tricks, considerable money 
is expended in maintaining a Secret Service Bureau of Experts. Under the law, citi2en 
manufacturers must depend to a great extent upon .Trade-Marks and similar devices 
to protect themselves against counterfeit products— without the aid of "Government 
Detectives " or "Public Opinion " to assist them. 

Consequently the "Consumer's Protection " against misrepresentation and "in- 
ferior quality" rests entirely upon the integrity and responsibility of the "Manufacturer." 

A. G. Spaldmg & Bros, have, by their rigorous attention to "Quality," for thirty- 
three years, caused their Trade-Mark to become known throughout the world as a 
Guarantee of Quality as dependable in their field as the U. S. Currency is in its field. 

The necessity of upholding the guarantee of the Spalding Trade-Mark and main- 
taining the Standard Quality of their Athletic Goods, is, therefore, as obvious as is the 
necessity of the Government in maintaining a Standard Currency. 

Thus each consumer is not only insuring himself but also protecting other con- 
sumers when he assists a Reliable Manufacturer in upholding his Trade-Mark and all 
that it stands for. Therefore, we urge all users of our Athletic Goods to assist us in 
maintaining the Spalding Standard of Excellence, by insisting that our Trade-Mark be 
plainly stamped on all athletic goods which they buy, because without this precaution 
our best efforts towai'ds maintaining Standard Quality and preventing fraudulent 
substitution will be ineffectual. 

. Manufacturers of Standard Articles invariably suffer the reputation of being 
high-priced, and this sentiment is fostered and emphasized by makers of "inferior 
goods," with whom low prices are the main consideration. 

A manufacturer of recognized Standard Goods, with a reputation to uphold and a 
guarantee to protect, must necessarily have higher prices than a manufacturer of cheap 
goods, whose idea of and basis for a claim for Standard Quahty depends principally 
upon the eloquence of the salesman. 

We know from experience that there is no quicksand inore unstable than poverty 
in quality— and we avoid this quicksand by Standard Quality.
